Introduction The Genesis Gradebook is a powerful Gradebook program that is fully integrated into the Genesis Student Information System. The “integrated” nature of the Genesis Gradebook is designed to make your life easier: • You never have to enter your class rosters – Genesis Gradebook gets the list of students in your class from the Genesis Master Class Schedule file. • When students are added or dropped from your class, the updates to the Gradebook appear automatically (dropped students are never lost). • Grade Reporting (posting Marking Period grades) is simplified: there is ‘one click’ transfer of student grades from the class roster into the Report Card Grading module. • Student photos, if they exist, are automatically pulled into the Gradebook and displayed on the seating chart. The Gradebook also includes a seating chart and class attendance functions. This “Quick Start” Guide takes you on a quick tour of the Genesis Gradebook, showing you the following: • What you must do and what you can do to set up your Gradebook to work the way you want it to. • What you can do to set up your Class Rosters. • How to create Assignments • How to grade Assignments • How to modify Assignments • What individual student support tools there exist in the Gradebook. • How to use the seating chart • How to do class attendance • How to post grades to the Genesis Report Card Grading module. The Class RostersÆAssignments Screen: the most basic Gradebook Screen The Class RostersÆAssignments screen is the most important screen in the Gradebook. The next page will introduce you to the basics of this screen. 3 Gradebook User Guide Introduction to the Gradebook Spreadsheet Screen GradebookÆGradebook Figure 1 – The appearance of the GradebookÆGradebook spreadsheet screen before any Assignments have been created Features of the GradebookÆGradebook Spreadsheet screen The spreadsheet screen • Marking Period, Exam and Year Summary tabs – 3rd level tabs that divide up the school year. o There will be a Marking Period tab for every Marking Period during which the selected course section meets. o The Exams tab should appear only if the School gives a Mid-Term and/or Final Exam. • Spreadsheet header – The spreadsheet header, which appears immediately above the class roster, contains drop down boxes that allow you to: o Select the Teacher o Select the current course section o Select the Category to display – This allows you to display one category of Assignments at a time, or all Assignments. o Select the Unit to display – if you have divided your course into “Units” (e.g. chapters, topics), you can choose to show only 1 Unit or all units. o Show hidden? – If you have chosen to hide certain Assignments, that is, to not show them on the spreadsheet, setting this option to “yes” will display all your Assignments, hidden or not. • Quick Links – These are set of links provide ‘quick access’ to various features. 4 Gradebook User Guide • The list of students: o GradebookÆGradebook The Gradebook screen header contains Marking Period tabs, course selection drop down, and Assignment viewing controls. The students’ up-to-the-minute Marking Period grade averages are shown in the first column The ‘Assignment spreadsheet’ displays all Assignments for the selected Marking Period. Once you post Marking Period The spreadsheet screen has 3 grades and comments for the modes: Assignments, Class selected Marking Period, they Attendance and Seating Chart. are shown in these two columns at the far right of the spreadsheet. Modes of the GradebookÆGradebook Spreadsheet screen The spreadsheet screen has three modes: 1. GradebookÆGradebookÆAssignments 2. GradebookÆGradebook ÆClass Attendance 3. GradebookÆGradebook ÆSeating Chart The “Assignments” mode is the default for this screen. Class Attendance and the Seating Chart will be discussed in later sections of this guide. Selecting the Marking Period and the Current Course • Selecting the ‘Current Marking Period’ – There are 4 Marking Period tabs (if you are on a 2 Semester/4 Marking Period year) and a ‘Year Summary’ tab. The Gradebook always starts on which ever Marking Period is the ‘current’ Marking Period. If today is in Marking Period 3, the Marking Period 3 tab will automatically be selected when you enter the Gradebook. • Selecting the Current Course – The ‘Course’ drop down allows you to pick the class you want to work on. The courses in this drop down will change depending on which Marking Period is selected. 5 Gradebook User Guide Narrowing the set of Assignments being displayed There are two drop downs which allow you to control which Assignments you see in the spreadsheet. • Categories – Categories are things like ‘Homework’, ‘Quiz’, ‘Test’, ‘Class Project’ – the types of Assignments you will give your students. These are setup on the GradebookÆProfilesÆCategories screens (see below). o All your Categories are listed in the Categories drop down. o You can select one Category or all Categories o If you select one Category: Only the Assignments for that Category will be displayed in the spreadsheet. The “MP Average” column will show the students’ averages for Assignments of that one Category. • Units –Class ‘units’, or the sections into which you divide your courses. o The use of Units is not required. o If you choose to use Units, you can create them, modify them and delete them via the GradebookÆProfilesÆUnits screens. o Any Units you create will be listed in the ‘Units’ drop down on the GradebookÆGradebook (spreadsheet) screen. o Selecting one Unit will show only the Assignments linked to that one Unit in the spreadsheet. When one Unit is selected, the “MP Average” column will show the MP average for that one Unit. That is, it will show an “MP Unit Average”. 6 Gradebook User Guide Introduction to the Gradebook Home Screen GradebookÆHomeÆSummary Icons correspond to 2nd level tabs – except the “Rename” icon. Figure 2 – The GradebookÆHomeÆSummary screen provides a list of all your course sections and icons to access and perform functions on them. The Home Screen The Home screen provides a list of your course sections, indicates which are merged with which and gives you a set of icons to access different functions. • The “Work” icon corresponds to the “Assignments” 2nd level tab. • The “Grades” icon corresponds to the GradebookÆGradebook 2nd level tab and brings up the grading spreadsheet • The Setup tab brings up a screen where you can choose which named profile to use with the course.

Click it once to turn the Course Section name into an editable text field. Click it twice to close the text field. Click Save to save the course section’s new name. • The “Merge” icon brings up the Merge 2nd level tab where you can join multiple course section rosters into one. 7 Gradebook User Guide The Gradebook Teacher Profile Screen GradebookÆHomeÆTeacher Profile Select your default “Teacher” here if you have more than 1 Teacher assigned to your user id. Figure 3 – The GradebookÆHomeÆTeacher Profile screen lets you specify your email address and your “default Teacher” The Teacher Profile The Gradebook Teacher Profile screen provides a way for you to enter information about yourself that will be shared with Parents accessing their students’ information via the Genesis Parents Module. • Enter your email address. This will be used as your email address when you send email via the Gradebook. • Your signature – This is the signature line that can be automatically amended to email messages sent by the Gradebook. • Contact phone number – This phone number can/will be displayed in the Parent Module as a way for parents to contact you. • URL – This is your URL, if you have one, that you would like students and their parents to be able to visit. • Default Teacher – Select the Teacher the Gradebook will initially select for you. NOTE: You must setup your email address on this screen in order to be able to send email via the Gradebook. You will not be able to send email until you have set up your email address in your Teacher Profile. 8 Gradebook User Guide 9 Gradebook User Guide II. Setup Gradebook Setup consists of a small number of tasks: 1. Determine whether or not to merge any of your class rosters: • You can “merge” two or more of your assigned course sections into a single class roster. 2. Setup your named Profiles. For each Profile, you can: • Choose your basic “Grading Style”: Total Points or Weighted Categories • Setup your Categories (e.g. Homework, Tests, Projects, etc.) • Adjust Grade Values so that they work for you • Create your class “Units” (e.g. ‘Chapter 1’, ‘Chapter 2’) • Optionally set up Workgroups so that you can divide your class rosters into non-overlapping sub-groups of students (this will allow you to create Assignments directed to just one Workgroup of students).

  • Evaluation & Research Literature: the State of Knowledge on BJA
    Evaluation & Research Literature: The State of Knowledge on BJA-Funded Programs March 27, 2015 Overview The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is a leader in developing and implementing evidence-based criminal justice policy and practice. BJA’s mission is to provide leadership in services and grant administration and criminal justice policy development to support local, state, and Tribal justice strategies to achieve safer communities. This is accomplished in many criminal justice topic areas, including adjudication, corrections, counter-terrorism, crime prevention, justice information sharing, law enforcement, justice and mental health, substance abuse, and Tribal justice. Under each topic area, BJA funds numerous programs and initiatives at the Tribal, local, and state level. In partnership with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), other Federal partners, and many other research partners, many of these programs have been evaluated, while others have not. The intent of the following report is to assess the state of knowledge as determined by data collection, research, and evaluation of and related to BJA- funded programs. This report is a resource that can be a reference for both evaluation and research literature on many BJA programs. It also identifies programs and practices for which U.S. Department of Justice resources have played a critical role in generating innovative programs and sound practices. This report identifies programs and practices with a solid foundation of evidence, as well as those that may benefit from further research and evaluation. Program evaluation is a systematic, objective process for determining the success of a policy or program. Evaluations assess whether and to what extent the program is achieving its goals and objectives.

  • 2010 Hyundai Genesis
    2010 HYUNDAI_GENESIS If you’re reading this brochure, chances are you’re the kind of automotive enthusiast who, instead of simply opening your wallet and adding a status trophy to your garage, prefers to open something else: Your mind. It’s a refreshing attitude that often leads you to discover truly rewarding experiences, from new and unexpected sources. Like Genesis, from Hyundai. Nobody was looking for Hyundai to build a luxury car that would challenge the automotive elite. But we did. Nobody expected us to benchmark the industry’s best, then apply the art and science needed to meet those marks. But we did. Nobody thought we’d charm the pants off a jury of North America’s most esteemed automotive journalists, or be named "The Most Appealing Midsize Premium Car" in 2009 by J.D. Power and Associates.1 But we did. And by doing what few people expected of us, we now find ourselves as a car company that a lot of people are starting to think about in a whole new way. It’s 2010. Welcome to Hyundai. 1 The Hyundai Genesis received the highest numerical score among midsize premium cars in the proprietary J.D. Power and Associates 2009 Automotive Performance Execution and Layout Study.SM Study based on responses from 80,930 new-vehicle owners, measuring 245 models and measures opinions after 90 days of ownership.

  • Wrestle Until He Prevails
    Web Edition – September/ October, 2015 Wrestle Until He Prevails And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. .Then he said, 'Let me go, for the day is breaking.' But Jacob said, 'I will not let you go unless you bless me.' Genesis 32:24,26 October brings to mind the Reformation, and the role that Dr. Martin Luther played in restoring the church. In order to get to the heart of the Reformation, I feel that it is necessary to look at the personal life and writing of Dr. Martin Luther. There you will find a man who often wrestled in his weakness to find the strength of God. He is not unlike the man Jacob in the Scriptures. In the book of Genesis we read about Jacob's wrestling with God. There is a strange paradox here: Jacob prevailed in his prayer for help. The angel of God's presence said, "Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with man and have prevailed." (vs. 28) But how did he prevail? By clinging to God in his utter need and weakness, knowing there was help in no one else. Sometimes there is nothing else to do but to wrestle with God. We may not know the path we should take, and we have to wrestle through until light breaks. We may find that our will and what we perceive as God's will are not in harmony, and we have to wrestle until He prevails.
